Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The Top Chef reunion is worth it solely for the extra gag footage of the judges.

Agreed. That was funny.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Survivor - HA. Buh-bye, douchebag! Glad to see being a bigot trumps being annoying, at least for the first vote. (Though really Sash, please don't brag about being from New York while also acting like "Are you gay?" is the most insulting question you've ever heard. Try to be better than that.)

OMG Just Desserts was so watch from the hall last night, I stopped it and watched Criminal Minds instead (serial killers = less drama!) Seriously Seth needs to dial his drama way back.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Okay, so apparently Tim Gunn dishes HARD about his conflicts with the PR producers. I haven't watched the video, but see here:

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I think this is going to be an interesting Survivor season. It was great to watch Shannon dig his own grave at tribal. Also, Kelly, WTF? I mean, WT effing F? Shoe stealing and then confession?

Was that Kelly or Holly? I can never keep track of the names this early in the season.

Whoever she is, she needs to tone down the crazy if she wants to stay around.

(But also - who brings $1600 shoes to Survivor??? Even if Holly/Kelly hadn't taken them, they still wouldn't have made it to the end of the game.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Disappearing shoes and socks are complete WTF.

I missed the first episode but caught the one last night. Is the elder tribe getting a "handicap" on every challange? Seriously?

No, the Medallion of Power is a new twist this season. It gives the tribe who uses it an advantage in the challenge, but whoever uses it then has to give it to the other tribe.

The younger tribe found it in the first ep but was then given the opportunity to trade it for fishing gear, which they did, so the older tribe had it to use in this challenge if they wanted to.

Oh yeah, it was Holly. Sorry. I am interested in the art student, I think it's Alina, who seems to be a good player in what I've seen of her.

A website I saw (don't remember which) refers to the two teams as the Fogies and the Fetuses, which is hilariously perfect.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Okay, so apparently Tim Gunn dishes HARD about his conflicts with the PR producers.

Wow. That sounds like an incredible clusterfuck.
